Question about SSD drives?

Hello!
Recently here "publicly" I tried to assemble a system unit from components.
So I was told this about the choice of SSD - You should not take a SATA SSD, but NVMe .
Really didn't think about it before.
But the question has matured - if you buy an already assembled laptop with a built-in SDD, so what type is installed and is it fundamentally important?
Thanks

And is it really that important?
No.
Drives with both SATA and NVMe interfaces will work the same way.
NVMe is a more modern protocol adapted to work with SSDs, but in this situation its advantages will not manifest themselves. Therefore, there will be no noticeable differences in the work.

They can install both sata and nvme - depending on the laptop platform and configuration.
nvme is definitely better, since the interface speed is also higher (roughly speaking, the best sata ssds give about 550 MB / s with a theoretical maximum of 600 (the ceiling of sata 3 interfaces), and nvme can be 3000 MB / s and some even higher), and the protocol itself designed specifically for solid state drives, which significantly increases IOPS (here it is more difficult to give an example with numbers, because it still depends on the disk controller) - which in real life is often more important than maximum linear speeds.

If you are, as indicated by the nickname, "Marketer, SEO", then I highly doubt that you will notice a radical difference between SATA and NVME. There will be no tasks on which the advantages of HBME will be revealed. But excess heating and a decrease in reliability as a result of it may well arise.
An exception can only be a very cheap SATA, usually also the lowest in the line (ie, the minimum volume). For such SSDs (well, or some very low-end ones), the speed can really approach the speed of a mechanical disk, especially with large recording volumes.
